Breeders’ round-up
by Nigel Reid

The 20-strong haul of BC-bred winners throughout our region this past week or so included a two-year-old debutant half-sister to the useful speedster, MORNING BLURS (Second in Command).

Called EVERYTHING’S QUIET (Quiet Cash), and in training with Nancy Betts for owner Gerry Ferguson, the young filly broke like a scalded cat under Alex Marti in a three-and-a-half furlong maiden special at Hastings on Sunday.

Bred by our own CTHS director Paul Caravetta (who also owned the filly’s sire, Quiet Cash), Everything’s Quiet is looking to make a quick turnaround and is entered to run in the $50,000 Debutante Stakes on Holiday Monday – on what is one of our most prestigious day’s racing.

Only five juvenile fillies have entered for the race, but they include the equally impressive recent BC-bred maiden winner, INFINITE PATIENCE.

The Barb Heads-trained daughter of Sungold looked like a sizzling prospect on her debut, and Monday’s race promises to be a fascinating contest.

There are 10 valuable races up for grabs on Holiday Monday, with a plethora of high-class local breds scheduled to feature, including BC’s “poster girl” HERE’S HANNAH (Numaany), who goes in the $50,000 Distaff - the first race of the afternoon and scheduled for the off an hour earlier than usual at 12:50pm.

We’ll have a detailed look back at any BC-bred winners on the big day in next week’s round-up, but the best of luck to all the connections, regardless of where they were bred, on what promised to be a sensational day of racing.

Last week’s BC-bred winners also included impressive four-timers for both SECOND IN COMMAND and the now retired CAUSE TO BELIEVE. These two marvelous sires continue to be represented on an almost weekly basis by tough, winning stock at racetracks throughout our region and are a credit to their connections.
